"If you started a game on April 1st and kissed the wounded neighbor, that save file is now permanently in smooch mode!" Coulombe posted on social media.

In 2015, Life Is Strange stood out for its female protagonists and unique millennial cringe, capturing the essence of coming-of-age stories through character relationships.

Dredge+ is the complete edition of the game, with all released DLC content. This is pretty much a perfect video game that combines fishing with bone-chilling horror.

"Today I'm announcing I will no longer be making Gaming Historian videos. There's nothing dramatic behind it, I promise."

A six-week-old Instagram post from Shaun Escayg, featuring a cannon and the word 'Research,' has sparked speculation about a return to the Uncharted series. The post's vibe reminds fans of the Panama segments in Uncharted 4, leading to excitement about a potential new game.

The former, a story about a traumatized boy defending a city from alien incursions using a biomechanical humanoid mecha in the hopes he will be able to understand himself and earn approval from others, is an apt point of reference for Control Resonant's protagonist Dylan Faden. Dylan, the brother of Federal Bureau of Control's director Jesse Faden, is a powerful parautilitarian who has abilities by way of a connection to an otherworldly entity called Polaris.

Petit Planet is the studio's take on Animal Crossing, though with a few interesting ideas of its own. The game's most recent test took place all the way back in November, but its next big test isn't far off.

Ditto's appearance as a protagonist of one of the best games of 2026 would likely never have happened had it not been for one episode of the original anime.

"Cleaning out the garage today and stumbled on my original sketches from 2003 for a game pitch about a man, his surrogate daughter, and a trek across a broken America. Been a wild journey. Grateful for every part of it, especially the few stops that remain on the road ahead."

Grave Seasons subverts the typical farming sim aesthetic by introducing a supernatural serial killer, offering mystery and scares in a genre often seen as cozy.

The announcement has been very quiet, though, and almost zero details have been offered up. We do know that the Warmastered edition... will be getting a native PS5 and Xbox Series S/X release on May 19.

We believe we can respect each other as creators and make games together. And I think with Hyung-Tae, we can even enjoy the hard parts.... Seeing my own vision and ideals come into focus like this, and finding someone whose direction aligns so closely is something I've rarely experienced before in my career.

The dev kit and its beta files represent one of the biggest GTA IV leaks ever, providing fans with a firsthand look at all sorts of stuff never before seen or only spotted in early screenshots.

A while back, a team was assembled to pitch a remaster of Jak & Daxter. I was asked to animate an IGC shot-for-shot, to show what this updated version would look like.

Remakes tend to be more exciting than remasters because the improvements often go beyond mere bumps in resolution or framerate. At best, studios reimagine classic experiences in exciting new ways, sand away rough edges, and somehow retain the intangible x-factors that made fans fall in love with these titles in the first place.

Marathon has sold 1.2 million copies since launch across console and PC, with an estimated 70 percent of those copies sold on Steam compared to 19 percent on PlayStation 5 and just 11 percent on Xbox Series X/S.

Returning to old games isn't always easy. Depending on how old the game is, you might run into various problems, including unusual controls or compatibility issues. Another common point of friction you might encounter is an older game running poorly. This can make it a slog to replay some of the modern classics, even if they're just a decade or so old. So I'm happy to see Ubisoft going back and updating performance in games like Far Cry Primal and Assassin's Creed Unity.

But what has a lot of people online talking is the new map, Meltdown. This map, set inside a nuclear power plant facility, was extremely popular in the original Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 back in 2012 on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC, where I spent many hours playing it. So naturally, I was excited for its return in BLOPS7. But, well, this ain't exactly the same Meltdown from 14 years ago.

The official Final Fantasy VII account on X unveiled the upcoming update, calling it a celebration of the game's launch for Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S.

Basically, Square Enix is letting people decide how chill they want to make their Final Fantasy VII Remake experience.
